Ertiga looks really good for a compact MUV and with the choice of both petrol and diesel engines, it is going to be a runaway success. Kudos to Maruti for coming out with a great product. It looks nice and compact and is going to bne useful in the city as well as highway.

A doubt - sorry if I missed it earlier.

Is Renault Pulse = Nissan Micra?

Actual the official launch i'm assuming should be before all this so I'm guessing that the duster would be unveiled officially by Renault sometime this month. I have no "Insider Info" on the same or anything, just what I expect.

Well atleast we will come to know the pricing. but i am surprised how bookings have begun even before someone can see the car a.la maruti. Everyone is resorting to this tactic now to earn interest out of booking amounts if not anything else!

Lets really hope renault stays spot on in the pricing details. atleast they either have the customer, or not. unlike a few others who arent even saying when their showcases are in reality coming to town.

Storme will not be a new launch. Its just a facelifted Safari and I expect it do similar numbers as the current generation Safari.

Well, it is like this...if you want the Renault badge on your Micra, go for the Pulse. If you want the Nissan badge on your Pulse, go for the Micra.

Are the wipers oriented to the left side, like the Logan?
It looks like that to me.

Thank you romeomidhun.

Bhpians @ Auto Expo! Any pics of the third row seating and arrangement? Also any clues, leaks on the pricing details of all variants, Pls share.
Now lets see how much dent its going to make in XUV500 and Innova's figures/ share.

I for one absolutely don't like the looks of Ertiga, Maruti seems hell bent on retaining that wierd Swift's front facade for everything they do.
